Male set explosive for slugs (7)

I believe the answer is:

bullets

'for slugs' is the definition.
('bullet' can be a synonym of 'slug')

'male set explosive' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'bull' (bull is a kind of male).
'explosive' indicates anagramming the letters.
'set' with letters rearranged gives 'ets'.
'bull'+'ets'='BULLETS'

(Another definition for bullets that I've seen is " Slugs".)
